Biography
Iolande was a female inhabitant of the planet Betrassus that was located in Sector 1417. She was the daughter of the planet's king whose family recently had come to power after a series of inter-clan wars that ravaged their planet. (Green Lantern Corps v2 #1) Her father was King Nor and Iolande had two brothers named Ragnar and Stentar both of whom were in line to the throne. (Green Lantern Corps v2 #2)
Betrassus later came under attack from invaders using Maltusian battle mechs where during this time Princess Iolande looked to protect her father whilst her brothers defended against the enemy. By this point, two members of the Green Lantern Corps arrived to help protect the planet with these being Myrtt and Soranik Natu. In the midst of the fighting, Prince Stentar was killed despite Natu's attempts at saving his life. (Green Lantern Corps v2 #1)
It was eventually discovered by the Green Lanterns that the murders had been orchestrated by Prince Ragnar. They faked the death of Green Lantern Natu during one of Ragnar's schemes to be chosen by a Power Ring. This led to his conspiracy being noted but as a Prince of Betrassus he had diplomatic immunity leading to him being sent back to his homeworld. Once there, he was found guilty of his crimes and sentenced to death for the murder of his brother. During this time, Soranik Natu revealed that the new Green Lantern of the sector had been chosen with this being Iolande who became a member of the corps. (Green Lantern Corps v2 #3)
Iolande joined Soranik Natu in the defense of Earth against the Sinestro Corps during the Sinestro Corps War. (Green Lantern Corps v2 #17) The Sinestro Corps War raged on Earth, and while Iolande, the GLC and an army of superheroes battled the Corps the Anti-Monitor prepared to unleash an anti-matter wave to destroy Earth. With Earth’s destruction, the entire 52 would fall, and he would once again rule all that was. The GLC ruptured the heart of Anti-Monitor’s Warworld, the Sinestro Corps central power battery, and created a shield around Warworld and the Monitor. The ensuing blast nearly destroyed the Anti-Monitor, and he was finished off by Superman-Prime, who betrayed him for having destroyed his home, Earth-Prime. GL Hal Jordan defeated Sinestro in personal combat, and the Sinestro Corps, lacking any leadership, fled Earth. The heroes rejoiced and began rebuilding the damage the Sinestro Corps did. (Green Lantern v4 #25)
